Suggest for new bike rack
I’m looking to get a hitch bike rack. Anybody use the Kuat brand racks (Sherpa 2.0 or NV 2.0) I’m familiar with Thule (T2 Pro XT) but Kuat is a bit cheaper and is better reviewed.

Realistic calories burned with kettlebells
Can anyone help me figure out how many calories you burn doing a kettlebell workout? Because: more food. But my deficit is small, thus I don't want to overdo things. I do about 40 minutes workouts. Swings, clean and press, squats, etc. When I say 40 minutes then that's the actual workout time without breaks. I'm drenched…

How do I use the past as a road map rather than a road block?
I’m 48 and starting over with my fitness. At 38, I went all in for fitness, starting from weak, slow and heavier than I should be. I joined MFP as NotFortyYet. I shredded it! After I hit 40 I became Rides4sanity and I was very fit. Profile picture is from the old days, a goal shot. I’m small 5’1” and I was 105# and 17% BF.…

Knee pain after bike riding
I am a little out of practice as my bike doesn't really see the light of day over the winter months. But I did a 20 mile bike ride in the sunshine today with a short stop in the middle to go shopping. And found the gradients EXTRA difficult and tough on my knees. The pain isn't excruciating but I feel pretty achey. I turn…

Exercise Cals deduction
So the app tells you what amount of calories you should eat for a certain amount of weight loss. Well then you exercise and you can magically eat more. I guess I’m just a little confused as to why that is, shouldn’t you just stick with the first basic number and anything burned is just extra weight loss added? Maybe I’m…

I bought a Fenix 6X most of 3 years ago, something happened today, and now I have a Tactix. At least according to the watch face. The phone considers the watch no longer paired and I'm not able to pair them again. I have never had a problem of any kind with this watch. Will probably have to factory reset it. This started…

Question about running and dull ache in diaphragm/abs
I have a question related to running, in general, and the effect it has on the body. Before you answer (if you know) it's not runner's gut - what I'm trying to explain. I've mostly never had runner's gut except once or twice, and it's never been like the feeling I'm trying to describe right now. So I think I started my…

Should I be changing my exercise workout?
Hi, Wondering if anyone can give me some guidance. As well as running 4/5 times a week I also do a daily dvd workout. This has always been the 30 day shred for me, I like the mix of strength/cardio/abs and that it is shorter and so I can fit it into my daily routine. I've completed this 30 day workout several times, it…

Logging exercise
I am retired and healthy. Apart from normal day to day activities ie housework, etc, I also walk for an hour most days on my treadmill (4/10 incline and pace set at 4.80). And normally manage to record over 10k steps per day. Should I put myself down as being active or lightly active?
